Yeah, I figured it was most likely something along the lines of just not wanting to do it.

But I can see being an author and being ok with someone else writing your words in another language but it would be a weird anguish to be able to read it fluently. I'd be constantly second guessing the translator in word choice and sentence construction.

But on the off chance it was something more interesting I figured I'd ask.
